Whisk sifted flours into mixture, then stir in essence and eggs. Pour mixture into prepared pan. Bake in oven for 1 hour. Cover pan with foil, and bake about 45 minutes.
Stand cake in pan for 30 minutes, then turn onto wire rack to cool. Spread top and side of cold cake with white chocolate ganache.

Ganache:

Bring cream to a boil in small saucepan, then pour over chocolate in small bowl, stirring until chocolate melts. Cover, then refrigerate, stirring occasionally - about 30 minutes or until spreadable.

Corr ! Thanks Katie~ if I known that I would have spread it over 4 posts !! Lol

Knew I must have a recipe somewhere amongst the 100's of books. Amazingly though, seem few about. Have a small book given to me by a friend called "Great American Bake-In", which if anywhere will be in there. There is a recipe, but she has substituted cocoa powder, saying 'this layer cake should really have white chocolate layers.....'
Why change it? All her other ones stick to the American method etc.

The one I sent you does say in the summary that they use large eggs.

Anyhow, if you do attempt it - I hope it turns out OK...
